If I had know there were so many issues with this company I never would have spent a dime here. I had a Bedroom set delivered (not all pieces, of course there were back orders Items). The delivery and set up vendor took my old mattress that was to be returned and left it on the side of my house. Photo included. I don't expect this issue to be solved in a timely manner due to the incompetence of "passing the ***** of the administration of this company. whatever answer I receive from the "management" will fall on deaf ears. Calls and texts' to the store are "we are on it" . Ok, well complete it!Business Response

On 02/27/24 I purchased 2 ************** Charthouse ******************* Chair. Delivery was included as well as insurance. Delivery was scheduled for 03/07/24, but was pushed back to 03/14/24. After delivery, I immediately noticed the Charthouse Desk Chair was damaged and the wheels did not properly roll. I immediately alerted the store via phone. The person I spoke with advised me he would contact me later that evening. Never heard back from him. The next day I contacted customer service again and reported it. Due to using acceptance now, they made me hold onto the chair for 2 weeks before It could be returned so they could receive payment from acceptance now. After waiting the two weeks and speaking with now retired manager ****, I took the chair back. I worked with ******** ****** and **** whom all no longer work there. I was advised I could return the chair but HAD to select another item. They advised me they could not adjust the acceptance now receipt. Total order $2,109.95. Selected ******* table & chairs. Never received them. Dates changed several times. Customer attempted to pick up several times based on phone calls received from VCF. VCF even attempted to give me the wrong items several times including a rectangle table instead of a circle table. Before contact exp date I requested to change the contact (with acceptance now & VCF) and was advised I couldn't. Seven months went by playing change the date and items not available. I contacted the broad street location and spoke with new manager *** (who was great). She explained situation to *** ***** @ the ********** location. *** refunded the cost for the ******* table, Pure Promise, & Delivery Fee which totaled $820.**. He had also promised he would refund the srv charge of $50.00 because he was unsure what that was for, but it didnt happen. Nonetheless, this is a hot mess which now I am being penalized with acceptance now. They are unable to even confirm what furniture I have and have yet to receive refundCustomer Answer
Date: 11/18/2024
Acceptance now continues to complain that VCF has failed to clarify what furniture is in my possession. Because of this, acceptance now is overcharging me for items I no longer have. They are attempting to collect on a contract that should have been voided and rewritten as the items were not received. The breech in contract between value city furniture, acceptance now and myself has now caused extra issues financially for me. Acceptance now continues to say that value city can only provide them with a gas station receipt showing items that does not prove what items I have. Value City also neglected to rewrite a new contract with acceptance now when all of this transpired. I am stuck in the middle between the two companies and cannot seem to get any resolution due to the negligence on VCFs part. I need someone from corporate to give this situation some attention and not allow me as the customer to get penalized for their failed processes and proceduresBusiness Response

Complaint: 22564620
I am rejecting this response because:Great, thank you for the update on the check, however; I think you may not completely understand my position. Acceptance now needs VCF to provide a clear documentation (not the gas station looking receipt - per acceptance now) of what furniture is actually within my home. Currently I am still being charged for all items including the Charthouse desk chair that was removed from the ticket months ago due to the negligence between VCF and acceptance now when I originally complained I received a broken chair. Not to mention, I was forced to pick another item (******* ******* set) when I was told that acceptance now ticket could not be adjusted. Per management, what really should have happened was a new contract should have been signed when my order was changed/adjusted. It was pure negligence! Due to the negligence, I am now being held responsible while VCF gets to walk away without completely addressing the underlining issue. This has ultimately put me in a bad position and not by fault of my own self.
I am requesting that VCF provides Acceptance now an updated document that reflects:
1. Delivery charges removed
2. Service fee removed - which you all still owe me $50.00 for. *** ***** miscalculated the check amount but told me he would refund the service fee as well because we do not even know what its for.
3. Pure Promise removed
4. Chairhouse Desk Chair
5. ******* ******* set (table & 2 chairs).
They need a clear breakdown of the what the total contract amount should be after all of this is deducted along with confirmation of the items currently in my position which includes:
1. swivel Chair
2. charthouse desk top/base combo.
Acceptance now has been highly overpaid!

Dear Katelane *******
Thank you for your feed back.
You entered an agreement with Acceptance Now for financing. If you are needing assistance with your agreement. I would recommend that you go to the store and partner with Acceptance Now and your local store. Per Acceptance Now a balance was still owed, that is why Acceptance Now was sent a check.
Currently your invoice only shows an Charthouse Desk, and Swivel Chair only. If Acceptance Now is needing additional information, you would need to go to your local store and get a receipt.
Acceptance Now is a 3rd party financing company that operates on their own terms and conditions. An email was sent to your local store to advise them you may be seeking assistance to help you in this matter
There is nothing more, we can do for you on this end. Please contact Acceptance Now and your local store.
Thank you

Spoke with *** ***** Manager at ************************************ FURNITURE today 12/1/24. He was rude, refused to stay on the phone discuss my needs as a customer, was very argumentative and neglected to address the original issue filed with my recent BBB complaint. He told me he did his job and there was nothing left for him to do. He kept interrupting me everytime i told him what Acceptance Now has said. He told me that was between myself and acceptance now which is FALSE considering I should NOT be the middle party.
I need someone from corporate to address the issue because *** ***** advised me it was not his problem to resolve.
I requested a statement or letter on VCF letterhead that clearly shows the furniture I have within my home. Acceptance now does not understand the VCF receipt. It would also be nice if it could address my totals. I am now in collections with acceptance now when they have been well overpaid.
$1289.42 total balance with acceptance now which includes:
Desktop 429.99
Desk base 320.44
Swivel 539.99
My original acceptance now receipt was for $2,109.95-$820.53 = $1,289.42Acceptance now claims that value city did not send a check nor did they cash it. They need proof it cleared VCF and they want to know who cashed it.
I have now highly overpaid ACCEPTANCE NOW DUE TO THIS NEGLIGENCE. Please see screen shot for all the payments that have been deducted out of my account, but no additional item to show for it.
While *** ***** thinks it is not his job to help me, it is also not my job to be the middle person between the two companies. This all started due to management failing to do their jobs properly from the beginning. This has been going on since February 2024. This is ridiculous. Legal or *************** needs to be involved. My contract was breached yet I am being help responsible

Complaint: 22564620
I am rejecting this response because:
There still seems to be confusion between VCF and I. No one from Value City is taking the time to hear and understand the request at hand. I provided acceptance now with the refunded receipts from *** ***** and they advised they were unacceptable because they could not confirm what items were within my home. I simply requested an itemized document other than the receipt from *** *****. Since you have listed the items here, I will provide a screenshot to them in hopes that they will now understand. Nonetheless, I am still requesting an itemized letter on VCF letterhead that provides the item names, cost of items and totals.
I am fully aware that there was a remaining balance listed with acceptance now. Part of the reason for the balance was due to breach of contract, damaged items, and several changes within the contract. I have been attempting to resolve this for months. The furniture was purchased in February.
I am not disagreeing with the fact that a check for $820.52 was submitted to submitted to Acceptance Now. Where the issue forms is that *** ***** was unable to confirm with ***** or ****** at the ***************** acceptance now where he mailed the check, who cashed it and what name was listed on it.
While you provided the check number and the date the check cleared, Acceptance now is saying they do not have the check on file or have received it.
I just spoke with ***** at Acceptance now 12/1/24 after speaking with *** ***** and she advised he was unhelpful and unable to provide the necessary documents to locate said payment.
You are advising that there is nothing left for you to do, however; I still need to be able to validate your $820.52 check to acceptance now. That is VCFs responsibility to do since you sent the check directly to them instead of me. Acceptance now is claiming they DID NOT receive the funds. I am requesting proof that the check was cashed and cleared. VCF should be working with acceptance now to help resolve this issue.
I am aware that I have to work with acceptance now as well, but what I am telling you, is that I cannot manage to move forward with them until this is resolved with Value City Furniture (VCF).
In summary, the following actions need to take place:
1) itemized document list of products currently in my possession to also include pricing and total
2) payment trail for Check Number ***** that VCF states cleared on 10/31/24
Can you show proof of whom cashed it? Was there a tracking number attracted to the mailing of the check?

Dear Katelane *******
Thank you for patience and feedback. We understand how frustrating this matter may be., So we are recommending that you and Acceptance Now work together to provide a resolution for your Acceptance Now agreement.
We contacted your local store about this matter and spoke to *** ***** . Mr. ***** stated that he printed all of your paperwork and advised you to come to the store on 12/2/24. Per Mr. ***** you refused to go into the location to receive the paperwork. Per Mr. ***** ** put the requsted paperwork in the mail.
As per your request, I have attached the copy of the check made out to Acceptance Now, that was cashed. Unfortunately, we won't be able to honor your request with an itemized document. Please refer to your receipt, this is the best record to use for Acceptance Now agreements. We strongly recommend that you and Acceptance Now work together on the discrepancies, and resolve this matter.

I purchased the 5pc plush sectional on 11/2023 ($4500) and it is absolutely horrible. There is nothing plush about this sofa at all. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the quality and comfort level of the sofa. The cushions and pillows flatten out after sitting or laying for 5 minutes. It's so hard it feels like you are sitting on the floor and feathers are coming out. I don't know if it's not enough feathers or poorly designed. You constantly have to fluff the cushions and pillows and they are so heavy its hard to fluff. Also the clamps that connect the sectional together keep coming apart and sliding across the floor. I have been going back and forth with store **** and even corporate supervisors since July with no resolution. They are saying this is just normal wear and tear on the furniture when on all the reviews its saying the exact same complaints. The cushions are the problem and very uncomfortable. This is a manufactured issue and needs to be addressed immediately.Business Response

Below you will find the technician's comments from his report. Based off the service report, we will not be replacing the sectional or making any repairs due to "WEAR AND TEAR".
WEAR AND TEAR is not covered under the manufactory warranty or extended warranty.
Techinician's Report:
THE ENTIRE SECTIONAL HAS DOWN CUSHION TOPS THAT SIT ON THE
DECKING SYSTEM AND THIS IS HOW IT IS BUILT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
THERE ARE NO MFG ISSUES OR DEFECTS. SECTIONAL IS HOW IT SHOULD BE
FOR NORMAL USE AND WEAR IN THE HOME. NORMAL USE, NORMAL WEAR
NORMAL DUE TO WEAR AND REGULAR USE IN HOME. CUST DOSE NOT AGREE
SHE WANTS A NEW SERVICE TO LOOK AT THE SINKING CUSHIONS AND FRAME

Complaint: 22553415
I am rejecting this response because: based off the service technician reports its normal wear but Ive only had the couch for 8 months and barely sit on it due to cushions rapidly losing their shape and becoming excessively flat and sagging, the hard frame and faulty spring system.Uneven seating surface causing discomfort no one wants to sit on it.The upholstery has wrinkling and fading beyond normal wear and tear. The companys website has multiple complaints and poor reviews of the quality of the couch by other customers. Another technician was request and I still would like the sectional replaced its terrible.

On 4/6/24 I purchased a dining room table set from Value City Furniture; total value $2,118.75. It was scheduled to be delivered on 4/16/24. When the delivery guys brought the table and chairs in it was too large for the area and had defects. I immediately contacted the store because the delivery guys just left the table sitting in an awkward place in my house where I couldnt even get in my kitchen. I spoke to several customer service ***resentatives and even went to the store on 4/20/24 speaking with a *** and showed her the pictures of the table and how they left it sitting. She herself said that it is clear as day that it does not fit, I do not understand why they would just leave that like that. She asked me to email the pictures to her so that she can put this into the system, and she set up the return and refund stating that she would make sure that I would get a full refund. The pickup date was set and scheduled for 4/23/24, however they never showed up to pick up the dining room table and chairs. I called back to the store and was informed that they changed the pickup date to 5/8/24. That wasnt acceptable and I called the store in ******** and spoke with someone in the delivery department, and they set up the date to pick up for 4/30/24. I have been in constant contact with ************** because the Sales Representative at Value City Furniture opened an account for the purchase with them. I have done several disputes with them for the amount of $483.73 in which Value City has not refunded.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I believe I was taken advantage of. I don't expect anything for free but getting the couch before Thanksgiving which was promised with the $699.99 price is also not being honored. I accept that the price is $999.99 for the power recliner and $699.99 for the manual , I also accept that the world is filled with companies that will try to get over on someone like me and there isn't much I can do but not getting the couch before Thanksgiving is a real kick to the stomach as the entire family is coming and our first time hosting.

I purchased furniture from Value City in 2021 and got the 5 year protection plan with Pure Promise. I had an accident happen which resulted my sectional cushion getting ripped . Which is covered under the $409.99 warranty. They denied my claim . When I called Pure Promise AND Value City all I get told is there is nothing they can do. From the looks of everything they have BEEN getting over on people with this warranty . Just take your money and never act on it. A scam.Business Response

Dear Ms. ***************** we understand your frustrations, this complaint must be made for ******* of *************/Pure Promise.
Per the Uniters claim #C3089553 was a duplicate claim for claim #C389430, this was canceled, and then claim #C389430 was not covered, the cause was wear and tear, and cushion resiliency is not covered.
Again, the extended warranty through ******* of *************, ************ is a third-party company with their own sets of terms and conditions and policies.
